The Ceremonial battle harness is an armor set of the Sangheili Zealot.[2]
OverviewEdit
The ceremonial battle harness features a smooth, organic thoracic cage harness; large, sloping shoulder pauldrons; and a long, back-swept helmet with mandible guards.[3] The helmet and pauldrons feature decorative blue bands. Like the Evocati harness and the Infiltration harness, it does have red markings.[4]
UsageEdit
The Ceremonial battle harness was exclusively used by Sangheili Zealots,[1] and most famously worn in maroon by the Devoted Sentries.[5][6] Zealot Field Masters who were command positions and attached to regular Covenant military forces wore the same armor, albeit colored gold, similar to suits worn by lower-ranking Generals.[4] The Ultra-class color scheme worn by Ultras (silver-white with black trim) is also used.[7]
VariantsEdit
Field Marshal harnessEdit
Sangheili Field Marshals wear a modified version of the Ceremonial battle harness; the front of the helmet has two horn-like prongs and the pauldrons are wider.[5]
